This Company has been formed for the construction of a Railway from Douglas to Peel (passing through St. John's), in the Isle of Man. The improved trade of these important towns, as well as the prosperous condition and increasing Population of the island, and the rapid augmentation of the number of visitors during late years, call for the immediate introduction of railways. The Agricultural capabilities of the Island are great; and its Mineral products are acknowledged to be rich in yield and av we average value ; whilst around the Coast there are extensive Fisheries, and an unlimited supply of Sea weed for Manure. The expense and trouble, however, of land-carriage, have hitherto rendered these advantages com paratively unavailable. Slate Quarries are in active operation ; and the quality of the Slate is equal in clos-nees of grain and durability to any produced from the great Welsh quarries. The Granite near St. John's compares favourably with that now used in the Liverpool Dock Works, and would at once, by means of railway facilities, become available for export. One of the proposed Stations on the line will be at St. John's, where the Courts of Tynwald meet, and which is also the centre of the Foxdale mining district. The produce of these mines is now brcught by land-carriage (there being no water communication) to Douglas, a distance of nearly ten miles, whilst Coals and other important materials, as well as all necessaries required by the inland population, are conveyed into the interior by the same mode. Besides these items of traffic, the Fairs, which are frequently held during the year in this district, must add considerably to the annual revenue of the Company. The principal towns are Douglas, Peel, Castletown, Ramsey, and Laxey ; Douglas being the chief port, and the great commercial depot, as well as the principal place of arrival and departure of the steam packets plying to and from the Island. At the port of Peel the fisheries are prin cipally conducted, employing upwards of 1,000 vessels; the place of destination for the produce is Douglas ; the route is tedious, and the transit by the existing means ex pensive. Tile access to the Island is easy, and the means of env munication with Liverpool, Fleetwood, Whitehaven, Silloth, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, and other ports, both by sailing and steam vesse l s, are frequent and convenient. Hence, Tourists visit the Inland in large numbers, above 100,000 p assengers having been landed at its Ports during the past year. Such Visitors, attracted by the antiquarian relics, scenery, and other objects of interest, would, as a matter of course, go by the proposed Railway from Douglas to the interior, and across the Island to Peel. The highest medical authorities bear testimony to the sslubrity of the climate and purity of the w The picturesque is unit e d w i t h the more solid advantage of cheap living, provi s i ons b e i ng abundant and comparatively inex pensive, whilst th e ra t es o f duties on foreign produce are so small as to render the Island most advantageous as a per manent place of residence. Her Majesty's Government and the Local Authorities are now expending upwards of £60,000, for the improvement of the Ports of Douglas and Peel. The Electric Telegraph to England has been recently established. The Lines of Rail will be single, with requisite sidings. The length of Line will be about twelve miles, and the gradients easy throughout. The landowners and popula tion along it are most favourable to the project. From Statistics recently collected on the spot, with much care, by competent persons, and well supported by Official Returns, it is confidently expected that the Traffic win re turn a good Dividend upon the Invested Capital. The fol lowing is an Estimate of the Traffic : Passengers, inclusive of Tourists £7,500 per annum Goods, Minerals, Fish, &c 5,500 Parcels and Mails Workin g E xpenses at even 50 per Cent £13,150 . 6,500 Leaving for Dividend £6,6bo --- Plans, Sections, &c., of the Line are completed, and all necessary forms are being complied with, in accordance with the St riding Orders of the Court of Tynwald to obtain an Act of the Local Parliament. Neither Imperial or Local Taxes are levied in the Island, and those heavy charges which tend so much to reduce the value of Railway property in England and other countries, Lto leafs thaw to diminish the Shareholders' Dividends, can ino n. any degree w h a t ever, prevail with respect to this . th en eminent Contractor's firm have agreed to purchase make the Railway, provide and fit up all Stations, `la,st!tsh Rolling Stock for working the Line, and Telegraphs, vvki',u,ri. satisfactory terms.

Although the system of joint-stock banking has been esta blished to meet the requirements of most departments of trade, it has not been introduced for the business of the Agricultural and Cattle-markets of the metropolis ; and though the population has doubled within the last twenty five years—aid consequently the necessary q tantity of sup plies - yet the whole business, amounting tofifteen to twenty millions per mum; is left in the hands of a few private firms. The Albion Bank is introduced to provide increased facilities for this trade, by establishing an office in the City, as well as at Smithfield and the Metropolitan e_ att e-market ; and subs( quently, shou'd it be found desirable, by opening branches in the agricultural districts. The value of the rapidly-increasing commission business to be transacted by the Albion Bank can be readily appre ciated by a lino aledge that the method in which dealings are carried on at the Cat le-market constitutes the bank, the de po'itory of all the moneys passing from the buyer to the producer. The Metropolit , n Meat or Poultry-market in Smithfield, now in course of erection, is destined, by the terms of the act of Parliament, to combine and supersede all other markets for meat in the metropolis. To this market will be concen trate all transactions for the supply of butaners' meat, you try, and other pr , duce to the inhabitants of the metro polis, and a circle of 14 miles round it. The Directors have entered into provisional arrangements by which the advantage of c mmencing up ,n an establ.shed connexion, under competent and experienced manageme •t, will be sezured to Shareholders from the commence ment of business, by which they are warranted in expect ing that they wi 1 be enabled to declare a dividend during the first year. That number of Joint-Stock Banks m ybe advantageou 3 y increased (more p r icularly u ,d , r special circumstance-, such as have l ed t o the formation of the Albion Bank), is de monstrated by the fact that so late as six ye r , ago, when the number of Joint Stock Bank in London was n .t more than six, their total deposits did not ex .eed £22,030,000; while now that the number of these bank s has been doubled, .the, joint deposits are already more than treb el, arnoun ing to a total of £71,792,300. Toe dividend., of the older banks range from 15 to 30 per cent. in accor,iancc with the dates of their « stabli hment ; end the premiums on their shares are from 203 to 3CO ter cent. in a precisely s•rni ar rids. The deros , ts and dividends of th Joint-Stock Rinks rccent , y formed show a ra, id progress tow.(rds identic tl results. Should no al otment take placa the deposits will be returned in full. Should a less number of Shares be a I ,tted than are applied for, the deposit w.ll be made available tow trds the p yntent on llotmeut, and the b 8 ance, if any, returned to she auplie , nt.

In Liverpool—The Washington Hotel. PROSPECTUS. Liverpool is the port through which the vast passenger traffic which exists between this country, America, the West Indies, and Canada passes. It is obvious, therefore, that first-rate Hotel accommoda tion is not only desirable, but absolutely necessary ; and to supply that requirement the Washington Hotel was built within the last two years. It has been designed and fitted no on the model of the great American and Continental Hotels, replete with all the comfort, convenience, and luxury which modern taste can suggest. The Hotel is situate in Lime-street, opposite the principal railway terminus, on one of the finest sites in the town. It contains about 200 rooms, furnished in the best /style. Under the Hotel have been formed ice wells, capable of storing about 3, , 00 tons of ice. These are the only public ice wells in Liverpool, and from their position can supply the whole town. The Company has arranged to purchase the lease of the Washington Hotel, together with the goodwill, stock in trade, furniture, and fittings. The ice wells, which are included in the purchase, are now full, and from that source alone the Directors expect that a dividend of 5 per cent. on the capital will be realised. It is intended that the establishment in Liverpool shall be the principal Hotel, and that it shall co-operate with other existing hotels in London, Manchester, and other la ge towns in the United Kingdom, and also in America. As the Hotel is now in full operation, and making large returns, the delay occasioned by the erection of premises, and acquiring a business, will be avoided. The Company will take immediate possession of the pre es, and tnter at once upon the business, consequently re turns will be made forthwith, and the Directors believe that they are not over-estimating the profits when they anticipate large dividends for the shareholders. 'I here will be no promotion money, and tha preliminary expenses %%ill be restricted to the amount actually incurred. If no allotment be made to an applicant, the deposit wi 1 be retnrned in full ; and if a less numb rof shares be allotted than are applied for, the balance of such deposit will be cre dited towards the payment on a lotment.

The leading financial establishments in Paris ate the Credit lifobilier and the Credit Fonder; both of which have stood the wt of ekperience, and have realised very large profits for their shareboldert—the transactions of the Credit Fonder being based upon the Land Cfedit system, whilst the Credit Mobilier embraces general Financial bila/negs. The wisdom of this division of operations has been fully realised by the Credit Fonder for Great Britain and freland, which, since its establishment, has found the offers of busi ness, both of a Land Credit as well as of a general Financial character, so large, as to necessitate the formation of the Credit Mobilier (Limited), to undertake such financial opera tions as the Credit Fonder, with due regard to its special ob jects, cannot legitimately carry out. The principal objects of the Credit Mobilier (Limited), are as follows, viz..— To co-operate with other first-class Financial and Indus trial undertakirws. To negotiate Government and Municipal Loans. To aid in carrying out concessions, bated upon Govern ment guarantees and subventions. To make advances to responsible contractors for English and foreign railways, and other public works. To lend on the security of stocks, funds, shares, deben tures and other approved securities, with special reference to the requirements of the Stock Exchange. The Cre it Mobilier (Limited) will also receive money on deposit for long or short per ods. The marked success which has attended the operations of the various Financial Companies, now in existence, is well known, and is evidenced by the following quotations of the market value of their respective shares.

The object of this Coompa O ny is to purchase and extend the Well-known and successful business carried on by the Thames Iron Works and Ship-building Company (Limited), at Black well. The Thames Iron Works and Ship-building Company (Limited), was established in the year 1857, and has now attained the foremost position in the construction of vessels 'of war and ships of the highest class for the commercial marine. The iron for these vessels, and for their armour plates, is manufactured on the premises, together with forg ings and castings of the largest class for marine engines, bridges, and other similar works. The rolling mills, steam hammers, foundries, smiths' shops, saw mills, dtc., are all of the best class and in the highest state of efficiency, forming together an establishment unequalled. Three of the largest iron-clad frigates in the Briti s h n av y —the Warrior, Valiant, and Minotaur—have been built by the Thames Ship-building Company, and orders have been received for iron-clad vessels for the Danish, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish navies, some of which are now in course of construction. It has been determined to add to the existing* business of the Companz two other lucrative branches, namely, Graving Docks and Engineering, which are naturally and essentially connected with its present operations. For this purpose, as well as for the large and increasing business of the Com pany, a considerable extension of capital will be required as the works advance ; and in order to carry out the objects in view, it is proposed to transfer to the new Company (subject to payment of the dividend for the past year) the whole of the valuable contracts, assets, goodwill, and effects of the Thames Iron Works Company, together with its liabilities and engagements, as from the let of January, 1864, in consi deration of the payment to the Thames Iron Works Company of the sum of £275,000, of which the Shareholders in that Company will take £150,000 in fully paid-up Shares, and £125,000 in Debentures of the new Company, bearing interest at 5 per cent, per annum. The property of the Company consists of twenty acres of freehold land on the Essex side of the River Lea, next Black wall, and the premises and branch works known as the Phoenix Iron Works, Millwall, together with the valuable plant and works. It is proposed to construct two graving docks capablr of re ceiving ships of the largest class, for which the accommoda tion on the River Thames is at present insufficient. For this purpose it is intended to purchase eight acres of freeho'd land immediately adjoining the works, having a frontage both to Bow Creek and the River Thames, which 1 nd is, at pre sent. in the occupation of the Company, with the option of purchase. '1 he proposed new graving docks will be in the immediate vicinity of the East and West India and Victoria Docks ; and it is confidently anticipated that from their admirable situa tion constant and remunerative employment for repairs, both of ships aid engines, wi 1 be found. The existing contracts of the Thames Iron Works Com pany, which will be transferred to the new Comp , ny, amount to upwards of a million and a quarter sterling (indepeo dently of the work in hand for the forge and rolling mills), and have all been taken on such terms as fairly to justify the anticipa tion of the same r rofit a b' e resu lt s which have already at tended the Company's operations. All the Directors of the old Company will retain their in terest in the new Company, and their seats at its Board, and the management wi 1 remain in the same experienced hander which have hitherto conducted it so successfully, and raised it to its present state of prosp er ity .

New YORK, Feb. 19. The extreme severity of the weather appears during the last four days to have impeded military operations in every quarter except in Florida. General Grant has not been heard of during the week, and the positions of Longstreet and Joseph Johnston are surmised but not known. Ru mours continue to be abundant, but the facts that might support them are vaguer and more shadowy than themselves and will not bear scrutiny. Many people in high position are of opinion that General Grant has taken the initiative in a movement that will either make him the greatest soldier of his time or consign him to the limbo of the numberless dead reputations of the war, which no power can revive, and no galvanism startle into even the semblance of activity. A much larger class are under the impression that a new invasion of North ern soil will be attempted by General Lee as soon as the weather shall permit—the scene of operation this time to be Kentucky and Ohio, instead of Maryland and Pennsylvania. Bat if warlike operations offer no point of pre sent interest, the state of political affairs is suggest ive of coming danger. Whatever may be the case in other portions of the Federal States, there is no ,I enthusiasm in New York, city or State, for the re-1 election of Me. Lincoln. The jobbers, brokers, and' gamblers of Wall-street, and the contractors who wax rich and insolent on the profits wrung out of the needs of the army and the carelessness of the Administration, are the only persons who seem very earnestly to desire a prolongation of his term. The mass of the people are indifferent, mainly for the reason that they think any agitation of the subject will be premature during the next two or three months. Mr. Simeon Draper, ex-Provost- Marshal, convenes meetings in support of his favourite candidate, but cannot, by all the art of advertising, draw 50 people together to Hope Chapel to hear any eloquence of which the themes are the virtues and the patriotism of the President. The clergy are shy of supporting his claims, and even Mr. Henry Ward Beecher deprecates the nomination of any one at present, on the ground that there is as yet no candidate before the public whose name is a tower of strength to rally around it the heart and the judgment of the people. Mr. Wendell Phillips thinks Mr. Lincoln pretty good as far as he goes, but by no means good enough, and hints that if he be re-elected it will not be be cause he is the best man to be found, but simply because at some unexpected turn of events he may prove to be the most convenient.

FOURTEEN YEARS AGO.—The ex traordinary charge upon which a tradesman named Weekly Ball has been committed for trial is Northampton shire for murdering a woman named Lydia Atlee 14 years ago has been already reported in The Sun. The charge was based upon the discovery of a skeleton in a lane near the village of Ringstead, the supposed scene of the murder. A missing tooth was the link by which it was sought t o id entify the skeleton found as that of the missing woman, but a diffi culty in the way of this theory was that no bones of an in fant were found, as would be expected from the condition of Lydia Atlee at the time of her death. It was suggested in this suggestion the police on Friday evening one of the local newspapers that possibly a further search in the remains made y ains of an infant. While at e idn s eg a a m u e p o p n o spot might discoveryvi, which h disclose w a t s h t unexpected by them. About 18 inches below w h ere the skeleton of the supposed' murdered w oman was f oun d another akeleton was discovered. The position of thi s s k eleton was, as nearly as p oss ibl e foot to foot to the sk e l eton previously found, only 18 inches deeper in the soil. T he teeth were in a perfect' state of pre servation. M r . L eete was sent for immediately, and, on ex amination of th e s k e l eton, pronounced it to be that Of a man ' about six feet in height, but, singularly enough, the bones appeared to have been in the ground much longer than the bones previously found. In connection with this latter dis covery it may be stated that an old man named Williamson, 00 years of age, has frequently stated that a gipsy was buried near that spot many years ago, and, indeed, the place seems to have been a gipsy's burial-ground. The bones of the skeletons are now in the possession of the police.

The anti-slavery journals `have not yet said a word on the subject of the extraordinary re-enslave ment of the black population of Louisiana by Gen. Banks. It cannot be allegel that their attention has not been directed to the subject, for no less than three of the most important and influential of their number approve cordially all those portions of the 1 document that relate to the duties of the white race in the approaching elections. The Tribune thinks Gen. Banks entitled to special commendation for declaring that in his proconsulate indifference shall be treated as crime. " For our own part," it says— though the words seem strange in a journal that is avowedly edited by Horace Greeley—" we heartily approve Gen. Banks's order, and wish the rule were universal and imperative that every man en titled to a vote should vote or pay a smart fine. We have often found fault with Gen. Banks, but this order is right." The New York, Times (equally emphatic) asserts its belief that the doctrine of Gen. Banks is sound, and hopes that he will resolutely carry it out. Mr. Wendell Phillips, who is not a professional politician like these writers, and is therefore not so easily led from the paths of prin ciple into those of party expediency, ignores the only portions of the general's " order" which his quondam fellow-labourers in the cause of emancipa, tion have thought worthy of notice, and denounces "the man Banks, who in the third city of the em pire (it used to be called a republic) had picked up the chains of the black man which Mr. Lincoln had thrown off, and with them refastened his feet to the ground." Whisky has more than once played an important part in American politics. In the infancy of the Republic there was a " whisky insurrection" which it somewhat troubled the great Washington to sup press, Mr. Lincoln has also a whisky trouble on his hands, which threatens to bring him into personal difficulty with some of his most cordial friends and supporters. It was known to the world before the assembling of Congress that Mr. Chase would be compelled by the necessities of his financial position to make an effort, more or less statesmanlike, to raise a larger revenue from taxation than he had yet succeeded in drawing into the Treasury. It was known, however, to none but a very select few that he would propose a considerable increase of the whisky duties. These few formed themselves into what is called a "ring," and bought up cautiously at low prices the whole stock of whisky and other spirituous liquors in the country, with the exception of the comparatively small quantity in the hands of the retail dealers. The quantity thus purchased was equal, it is reported, to no less than two years' con sumption. When the bill increasing the duty to 60c. per gallon was introduced into Congress, Mr. Fernando Wood moved an amendment to the pro spective clause. He argued that, as the object of the Government in imposing the duty was to raise a revenue, that object would be defeated if the stock of whisky on hand were not subjected to the impost ; that the people would be made to pay a price during two years enhanced by the whole amount of the duty ; and that not a cent of advantage would accrue to the public Treasury. He therefore moved to tax the stocks in hand, and the amendment was carried in a thin house. The whisky interest took the alarm, but soon recovered its lost equanimity. A select deputation of the "Ring," with unlimited greenbacks in their possession and full authority to spend them as they pleased for the advantage of the common cause, was despatched to Washington. The deputation understood its men. It knew the power of the dollar that it wielded, and the weakness of the morality that would resist it, and wrought accordingly. Dinners at Willerd's and elsewhere; private parties and re-unions; earnest confabulations in quiet corners ; and an unusually full and active lobby were the results. In due course the bill reached the Senate, and that august body, forgetting for awhile how much Mr. Chase needed money, struck out the amendment of the Lower House. But the battle was not yet won. The Senate having made an alteration, the Bill had to be returned for consent or disapproval, as the case might be. The greatest interest was forthwith ma nifested at every bar-room, hotel, and place of public resort in the national capital to know whether the representatives of the people would allow their patriotism or their cupidity to be the strongerin the contest between duty and dollars. It is presumed that dollars gained the victory, for the House re versed its former action and voted, by a majority of 77 against 73, not to tax the stock of spirits in hand. By this means, if the President do not exere cise his privilege of veto, Mr. Chase will lose five millions of dollars per annum for two years ; and the ten millions thus lost to the Government will go into the pockets of the speculators who have so adroitly managed the business, at a cost of no one knows how much, but probably of less than a mil lion out of the ten. The representatives, aware that in a matter of this importance they would be liable to be called to a strict account by their constituents, would not vote by "yea" and "nay" in the usual manner, and allow their names to be :taken down, but by " tellers," or counting of heads. Conse quently no record remains of the side on which the whisky patriots voted, and no means are left of showing who wa s :he knave and wh o was t h e honest man in this rem ar k at . ) .!e transaction. Th e T r ib une ,„: indignant at this barefaned job, and calls upon the P r esident to vet o th e Bill , an d sen d i t back for reconsideration. It is not doubtfu: what course he ought, but some who do not pretend to be his ene mies appear to consider it doubtful what course he will pursue, grounding their uncertainty upon the fact that some of th e w hi s ky specu l ators are as aident as their ow n li quor i n suppor t o f M rn bin" coln's re-election. i 7 ,/ L.-- KINAHAN'S LL WHISKY v.
